During the latter half of December, Mountain

Crane Service completed several lifts at the

One Oak Fractionator Expansion Project in

Bushton, Kansas. There were three consecu-

tive lifts over the course of three days.

The first two modules weighed 121,000 lbs.

each and were lifted at a 130 ft. radius. The

third lift weighed 165,000 lbs. at a 160 ft.

radius. Each of these lifts was executed safe-

ly and efficiently.

The fourth and heaviest lift came in at

450,000 lbs. at a 84 ft. radius. This was sig-

nificantly less weight than the lift had been

planned for and the crane was originally con-

figured for, which led to some minor compli-

cations.

Fortunately, Mountain Crane’s talented team,

led by Travis Horton, was able to work

through the problem and complete the lift

without any delay or difficulties.

Each of these lifts utilized a Demag CC2800

Crawler Crane with Super-Lift attachment.

We’d like to thank Barnhart Crane and Turner

for their excellent team work on these heavy

lifts.
